The guy right of centre who was hassled was two rows directly in front of me - I'm not sure what he was doing as neither I nor my neighbour saw him holding up even a phone camera - he was sitting in front of the speakers - maybe had a recorder in his lap? I enjoyed the concert very much, though audi...

My ticket arrived this morning

Sorry, being a Sunday my transport options were limited. I'm not arriving in Birmigham until 4.30 and my hotel is out near the NEC. I think I'll need to get sandwiches at M&S.

On another note, has anyone got their tickets for Birmngham yet?

mnkyface: Actually, if you don't live within walking distance of a venue and can't or choose not to drive, it's difficult for most people to go to a Leonard concert without travelling or staying the night as the concerts are a welcomely decent length and stop after public transport in most cities.

So sorry for those affected. We all know how expensive travel and hotels are, and this is totally inacceptable.

Oh, I had to be away from the internet yesterday, and didn't notice that I was logged out when I came on this morning, but on a whim I've got a ticket for Birmingham. Block C Row C. Thanks Jarkko and Marie. :lol: Please come to Glasgow next time, Leonard: I might have someone to be at the concert wi...

Oh this is so difficult. I passed on the European dates due to expense. Dublin would be cheaper for me, but I wish I know if/when there might be UK dates, and if so, where. I can really only afford one concert and it would be a shame to book Dublin, with flights and hotel then discover he's playing ...

Couldn't find any cheap flights to any of the announced venues, and with the ticket prices and accommodation, decided I'd have to forgo this time. News of more UK dates is cheering.

Too exciting!

Small venues are best. Small nearby ones even better.

Looks like an outdoor venue?

Really sorry to read that, lizzytish. That's a horrible thing to happen.
(I enjoyed meeting you in Paris.)

Thanks for the super photos, Maarten.
Nice to meet you on Saturday.

@mabeanie/Wendy: You're correct on both counts, of course.
I was wandering around Montmatre today wondering if it really was five, and listing to the Old Ideas album on the plane coming home. Thanks for the correction and the setlist.
